    Woohoo Paid my £20 as I said in post above ....Had £10 left from my shopping as I stuck to my list and no extras :A

    So went back to the bank with my saved £10 and paid it off my CC :T

    Or as we have said before it most likely would have gone on some junk I really didn't need that much :)

    So thank you soooooo much for this great thread and all the extra payment wonderful stories and people for inspiring me enough to do what I did today a first for me :)

  • well finally got to the signature bit and updated it. Pleased with myself... I really cannot thank everyone enough with their messages and finding inspiration each time I read this, it really does keep me going.. ebay sale went well and had given a good kick start to reducing sons gf account.. she is giving me the money as agreed, even son gives change from his pocket for this, every penny does count. Now that I can see sig it helps keep me motivated to peck her head lol.. just need to work out mine and make a declaration to you all. I cant believe Feb has been as long as January, but have started taking sandwiches to work and saved my money each week there, just not given up at home having the weekly fish and chips, am also getting back into the kitchen after 6 years of loss of habit when we had the extention built and doing more home cooking.:o
    This year is all about paying off - that is my aim. Keep up the good work peeps!!!:A

  • I just love this thread/challenge. It is really keeping me motivated.
    One thing I wonder about................what do the CC companies think about all the odds and ends we pay to them!!! Must be an administration nightmare...........oh well, I suppose they bring it on themselves! :-)
